Forest Sounds

Forest Sounds reveals the hidden world of forest acoustics, showcasing how the sounds of nature offer profound insights into forest ecosystems. The book focuses on both biophony, the collective sounds of living organisms, and geophony, the non-biological sounds like wind and rain, highlighting their vital role in understanding forest health and biodiversity. Changes in these soundscapes can signal shifts in species populations or the impact of environmental changes, offering a non-invasive way to monitor these complex environments. The book uniquely emphasizes listening as a tool for understanding and protecting forests, bridging the gap between ecology, acoustics, and conservation biology. Progressing from fundamental concepts of sound production to analyzing entire forest soundscapes, it demonstrates how acoustic monitoring can characterize forest types, assess biodiversity, and track disturbances. Spectrograms and sound samples are also incorporated to enhance the readers connection to the acoustic world.
